Inte direkt nyheter längre, men detta måste jag ju kommentera på:
Bob Dylan will release a brand new album of holiday songs, Christmas In The Heart, on Tuesday, October 13, it was announced today by Columbia Records. All of the artist’s U.S. royalties from sales of these recordings will be donated to Feeding America, guaranteeing that more than four million meals will be provided to more than 1.4 million people in need in this country during this year’s holiday season. Bob Dylan is also donating all of his future U.S. royalties from this album to Feeding America in perpetuity.
Christmas In The Heart will be the 47th album from Bob Dylan, and follows his worldwide chart-topping Together Through Life, released earlier this year. Songs performed by Dylan on this new album include, “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Winter Wonderland,” “Little Drummer Boy” and “Must Be Santa.”
Gör det verkligen saken bättre om intäkterna går till välgörenhet? Kanske lite. Men måste det tvunget vara en julskiva? Kunde han inte valt nästa Bootleg eller någon ny liveskiva istället? Det hade möjligen känts lite bättre. Och titeln Christmas In The Heart, herregud så cheesy.
Om jag grät en skvätt första gången jag såg detta…
…så ser jag fram emot kommande skiva med en skräckblandad förtjusning. Kan det verkligen blir bra?
